Yeah I saw the trailer for this. Looks like a fair bit about Beck Weathers is gonna be on this.

Also some of those gratuitous shots of dead people...Probably start the arguement going again.

How can you forget to watch it if you haven't taped it in the first place? I suppose you could forget to go over to where the video tapes are kept and go 'oh no! I forgot to tape it'.

But for that to work you'd have to forget that you'd forgotten to tape it but remember that you wanted to watch it.

Thanks. There is also a programme on early next week about Leo Holding (young talanted rock climber with a brocken foot thing). BBC1 late on Tuesday me thinks.

Is a brocken foot like a Brocken Spectre?

Very similar indeed, Jeanie.

What did everyone think of the prog? Over-judgemental in my view...in a Tonight with Trevor Mcdonut sort of way.

But....you wouldn't catch me climbing anything with that South African woman. A touch hard faced for my liking.

I know. Pot, kettle, black.

Watch it AND taped it too.

Well I thought that the programme was gonna be "nice" to the South Africans, but in the end they weren't!

All in all a fairly decent programme though. OK so maybe not as balanced as some, but hey it could have been worse.

well that was suitably channel 5 dramatic. for those who forgot, you didn't miss much. a lot of atmospheric music, overload of blurry reconstructions and a pile of people sat in living rooms talking. really encouraged you to go climb it...

and only one (real) body. thank god.

Yep, thanks for sparing us the bodies.

I think they overstated the inexperience thing. 'Never been over 6000, 7000 7500 metres' or whatever. I don't think people go to Everest without Knowing what they are biting off.

The Oxygen thing made me laugh. Comparing Matt D running out of oxygen with someone climbing without is complete boylocks.

But still better than Eastenders.
